Sunbeam Heating Pad with UltraHeat Technology, 000756-500-000
Buy a heating pad from the local Pharmacy or Walmart.

Heat is essential for starting seeds from 20 to 30 degrees C. After the seeds sprout they need light. A window is usually sufficient. Artificial lights are seldom worth the fuss and muss.IMO

Yeah, I'm a little confused. What your growing plants need is light at this point, not heat. Since they've already germinated and started growing.

CFL bulbs or grow lights might come in handy if you don't have sufficiently sunny windowsill space. They're widely available online or in hardware or grow shops.

The problem is I'm thinking a light or pad because my window does not give a lot of sun ;( and some of my growing plants are dieing ;( and we still have snow. I didn't know that the pad is only for seed starters on the lights is for after so thank you so much for letting me know on that starting the season it's OK it's afterwards growing them to be stronger..
